3 teens caught driving 145 mph in Fargo, could face criminal charges

Patrol Capt. Bryan Niewind told the Fargo Forum three cars were clocked traveling well above the speed limit on Interstate 29 in Fargo late Thursday night before leading a trooper on a pursuit. The trooper ended the chase because of the unsafe speeds, but was still able to identify all three vehicles. The cars were later found and the drivers - ages 15, 16 and 17 - were identified. The teens could face charges of fleeing, reckless driving and reckless endangerment.

Charges have been filed against two men in connection with an April incident in which a bulletproof vest, handcuffs and other equipment were stolen from a Fargo police officer’s unmarked, unlocked police vehicle. One of the men is believed to have taunted police on a police radio.

The U.S. Marshal Service says a Battle Lake man was wanted for threats against the U.S. Courthouse and the police department in Fargo. At his weekend arrest he tried to flee authorities but was subdued with a Taser.
